IRGC commander: US waging proxy wars to undermine Iran's regional clout

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari warned that certain reactionary regimes in the region have become a tool of the US to wage proxy wars to block Iran's growing influence in the region.

"The US has opted for a warmongering approach using evil and reactionary regimes in the region after the Islamic Revolution's continued success and the hegemonic system's failure in preventing the Islamic Revolution's influence," General Jafari said, addressing a ceremony in Tehran.

He said that the corrupt regional regime's greed for power has led them commit savage acts against the defenseless people in Yemen and Syria, attempt to disturb the political and security system in Iraq, supply the Takfiri groups with weapons and suppress the innocent Bahraini people.

General Jafari also blasted a number of the world Muslim bodies for turning into instruments of protecting the US and Israel's interests in the region.

Stressing that the Islamic Awakening and Resistance still continue, he said desperate political attempts in the region and issuance of statements by the so-called Islamic bodies that are favored by the US and (the Zionist regime of) Israel to damage the unity of the Islamic Ummah can never block the path of the Islamic Revolution and Awakening in the region.
